A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and dense, weighty main strokes. The serifs are wedge-like and often flare out from stems, giving terminals a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than flat slabs. Curves are tightly drawn with crisp entry/exit strokes, and counters tend to be compact, contributing to a dark overall color. Proportions lean toward display-friendly forms with assertive capitals and lively, slightly calligraphic modulation visible across both letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, large-size editorial typography, and brand identities where contrast and shape detail can be appreciated. It can work well on posters, book or album covers, and premium packaging where a bold, elegant voice is desired. For smaller sizes or dense paragraphs, its tight counters and fine hairlines may require careful layout and sufficient resolution.
The font conveys a refined, high-fashion sensibility with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its sharp contrasts and flared endings add a touch of theatricality and luxury, reading as confident and formal rather than casual. The overall tone is classic but stylized, suited to statements that want to feel premium and intentional.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif lettering, emphasizing flared stroke endings and sharp finishing details to create a distinctive, premium display texture.
In the text sample, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates pronounced sparkle in headings, while the narrow hairlines and pointed terminals add bite to curves and diagonals. The numerals and punctuation carry the same contrast and flare, reinforcing a consistent display character.
